The Who
The Who: Live in
Texas 7’75
Eagle Vision
Filmed while touring in support of the then-recently
release the Who By Numbers, the Who’s
excellent live DVD release, the Who: Live
in Texas ’75, finds the legendary act in a raw, raucous, live setting, and
though the video footage here has been spit-shined, you can still feel the pure
ball of energy this band brings to the stage. With the Who, you know you’re in
for good music and a veritable litany of hits including “Squeeze Box,” “Baba O’Riley,”
“Behind Blue Eyes,” and “Pinball Wizard,” and that’s barely the least of it. Late
drummer Keith Moon is a sight to behold on The
Who: Live in Texas ’75, and watching him whirl around his drumkit like a
frenzied madman should be a smile to your face and perhaps, if you’re a
drummer, a tear to your eye. The concert here winds down in dazzling fashion
with heavy-hitters “My Generation,” “Roadrunner” and “Wont Get Fooled Again,”
so, read that, then ask yourself, what else do you need?
Grade: A-
